Removing the serial number from a firearm is a federal felony. Unless you have a letter from the ATFE’s Technical Branch, authorizing you to remove, for the purpose of refinishing, repair, or customization, and then re-apply the serial number, then the act of removing or obscuring to serial number is a felony worth more prison time than being in possession of a stolen firearm.

Putting a side folder on it as in you filed a form 1 to make it an SBR? If so, when you did that, you became the manufacturer. As manufacturer, you can put the serial number wherever you want.
Well, thats my opinion anyways. But I'm no lawyer. |

Is it a newer one? The serial number was moved at the factory to the front on the ones made in the last few years so they could be converted. If you serch for it you can find pictures online of the difference. Mine had no issues and was made in 2015.

I want to say I bought mine in 2013, maybe 14. Mine is up front, where the damn latch needs to go

I'm wanting to put a side folder on my m92, but a local shop said they cant because the cut out for the latch in the front of the receiver will be right where the serial number is. How can I go about getting it moved? I've reached out to the atf and havent heard back yet. J.H.C. Not everyone with a machine is a machinist.

I fixed a botched one on a Yugo from a shop that I think may have went out of business, but he was the king of AK100 retrofits
 Unless something has changed, serial number position is a non-issue. They are likely scared or incompetent, and you should be scared too, send it somewhere else. I have seen what it looks like when people screw them up on Yugos because of the rivet pattern outsmarting them, not good and lots of detail welding to make it right.
